ROBINsON's ENGLISH HARMONY OF THE
FOUR GOSPELS.

A HARMONY OF THE Four GOSPELS IN ENG
LIsH. According to the Common Version.
Newly arranged, with explanatory notes,
by Edward Robinson, ID. d. Twenty
third and Revised Edition. With Foot
notes from the Revised Version of 1881,
and Additional Notes, by Professor NJ b.
Riddle, ID. ID. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin
q Co. S1.50.
We have long possessed and used the edi-
ton of this work that was published in 1854,
and found it very valuable as help in the
study of the gospels. Few books are more
necessary in we'll chosen library, adapted to
minister's wants, than a good Harmony.
And though many works of this kind have
been published, there is probably no one that
is better than that of Robinson. And the new
edition, by M. B. Riddle, D. D., Professor of
New Testament Exegesis, in Hartford Theo-
logical Seminary, is greatly improved work,
both in the arrangement of the text and the
added notes. The size of the pages being
larger than those of the former edition, gives
to the text less crowded appearance. The
text of the common version is used; but all
the improved renderings of the revised YER
sion are put at the bottom of the page, the
spurious passages designated, and the Old
Testament quotations indicated by giving
book, chapter and verse.
About one-third of the book is occupied
with valuable notes, including many very
excellent ones, not contained in the former
edition. These notes relate chiefly to the
matter of harmonizing the gospels, and not
specially to their Interpretation. At the came
time one must not assume that this part of
the work is uninteresting or Improbable.
Though this is perhaps the best Harmony
of the Gospels in our language, we have the
opinion that similar work could be con-
structed on better plan, by simply dividing
the passages into smaller sections. In long
passages there will be considerable in each
passage that has nothing corresponding TO it in
either of the other passages, while those parts
that correspond in them all, are in different
parts, and not side by side, as they should be
One is near the beginning, another in the
middle, and another near the end. Let these
passages be divided into smaller sections,
and all the parts that are strictly parallel
can be placed together, either side by side,
or consecutively, while the other parts, moi
parallel, can be put between the parallel sec.
lions, without any attempt at harmony
No harmony in any other form, can be made
strictly harmonious. But as there is no such
Harmony, so far as We know, save in manu-
script, with commentary, of which we are
author, which may never ''see the light" il
is useless to recommend it. OF all the exist.

gathered at the family residence for the last

The DELUGE.
"When we cannot see our way
Let US trust and still obey"

.sBehold, l do bring the flood of waters
upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, man and
beast. But the destruction had benevolent
purpose. 1t is said to have occurred on ac-
count of the great wickedness of man, and in
a sense was judgment. The Judgment,
however, was not an end, but means to an
end. The destruction was for the purpose
of renewal. Destruction may be the best
means of preservation. 1t often is. The
race was not annihilated, but removed from
the earth. Our Christian philosophy, with
its doctrines of Immortality and illimitable
Divine love and mercy, is sufficient to solve
all the apparent moral difficulties OF the
problem. 1t was the Divine purpose to es-
tablish a kingdom of righteousness and peace
in the earth. The race had developed hope
less tendency to evil,-no contrary to the
Divine expectancy, we may conclude. A
single family had maintained worshipful
spirit and righteous character. The Divine
providence would make that family the be-
ginning of a new race upor the earth. At
forwards a worshipful and righteous nation
was providentially raised up that became
corrupted by intercourse with the surround
ing nations. COP caused that nation to be
destroyed that He might establish His king
dom upon divinely developed man, the
product of that nation. The kingdom OF
Heaven is now firmly established through
JESUS CHRIST, the Son of GoD, and heir OF
David, king of Israel. Israel as nation was
destroyed, in the providence of GoD, by wal
and conquest. The mongrel race of violent
men were cut off from the face of the earth
by food of waters. The relation of mora
cause to physical effect we may not be able
to discover. Such a relation may exist, neV
ertheless, since all the manifold relations o.
the universe have not yet been discovered

Alfred Tennyson's Dora is added to the

lite hymns, ballads and poems published by
tic and satisfactory of the series. There are
twenty illustrations by ". L. Taylor en-
graved from sketches made in England for
this work. They embody some charming
bits of English landscape and rural life.
Such poem as ''Dora" readily lends itself
to illustration, and the artist has made excel
lent use of his material. AS we glance over
his sketches, rural life in England unfolds
before us, while the story of the well known
poem is told over anew. 1t is an exquisite
volume, and in printing, binding and illus-

A Mine Superstition.
iHE DEAD CAT SCARE WHICH INDUCED
TON BINLEY TO CEASE WORK.

Day before yesterday the miners at work
in the main shaft at Tolyabe. came to the
surface in panic. with blanched faces and
bated breath, and announced that they had
seen dead cat on the lower level. Every
body in town turned pale. and it seemed
to occur to no one that there was anything
grotesque about the excitement that had
been created over what might be deemed
so trivial an incident. Work was entirely
suspended. and as men engaged elsewhere
came no and heard the news thew, too
looked serious, shook their heads, and
went home. The next morning the men
appeared with their boiled shirts and store
clothes on and no one appeared to have
the slightest intention of resuming work
Toward night one of the owners arrived
and on learning the situation of affairs in
sisted on going down the shaft and re-
moving the offensive carcass. At this
there was a great cutlery, but he eventually
won over the ma iority OF the miners to his
view of the matter and it was agreed that
If he brought the cat to the surface they
would 90 back to their toll. 1t was with
many misgivings on the part of the crowd
that the owner disappeared. but when he
emerged half an hour later bearing the
remains of the cat a great load was lifted
from the community. On the following
morning all hands resumed work with the
the exception of Tom Binley, an old timer,
who ANNOUNCED that he had thrown up his
job and intended to leave the country.

Something's going to happen within eleven

were heavy. and the boss Just went down,
flung the cat on the cage and raised it out.
Some of the boys, green ones mostly, then
went back to work, and in fortv-eight
hours they had an explosion that like to
have upset the earth. That ain the only
case. On the Comstook once there was

never contemplated at the beginning Of
their mission. The preacher is not only
the minister of the gospel, but is invariably
resorted to. both by young men and

The Result OF q Spanking.
How Poor ENGLISH TEACHER BECAME
LEADER OF PARIS SOCIETY.

The Gil Bias, in mentioning birth in
high life 10 Paris. relates an amusing story
of the incidents which led to the marriage
of the parents. The happy father, a
marquis. is 20 years of age, while his wife
is some 50 years younger. The child is
result of a marriage OF 10 years. The
marquise is an English woman. She was
formerly teacher in one OF the private
schools of Paris. She believed in the
English idea of hogglng and she OCCASION
ally punished her pupils with cane.
One of the patrons of the school was the
coachman OF the marquis in question.
Both of the ccachman's children were re-
fractory and were frequently punished.
The coachman resented this assumption of
authority by the teacher. and warned her
never to fog his children again. The
teacher persisted in her course, and soon
afterwards had occasion to give one of the
coachman' s children another logging.
day or so afterwards the teacher was pass
ing the house OF the marquis, when the
coachman rushed out, seized the teacher,
drew her into the courtyard of the house
and then and there proceeded to admins
ter an old fashioned spanking in retalia-
ton for her furnishing his children. The
marquis happened to come along while
the coachman was in the midst of his cas-
tigalion. He flew into great rage and
promptly rescued the unhappy lady from
her undignitied position. The acquaint-
ance made by the marquis with this lady
under such ridiculous circumstances led
directly into an intimacy and subsequent
MARI ge. In fact the coachman's spanA-
ing resulted in giving a poor English
school teacher one of the leading posi-
tons in Partisan society.-N Y. World.
